OES in a Windows world and TCO
Disclaimer: This section provides an overview of future releases; due to market changes, customer enhancement requests, and other factors, product themes and timings are subject to change.
Technologies enabling OES in a Windows World
11
• Traditional (NetWare and OES Initial Releases)
• NCP and Client for OES (Novell Client) – File Access
• Login Scripts, Mapped Drives
• Salvage / Purge – Self service file recovery
• iPrint – Self service Printing
• iFolder – File sharing and Desktop backup
• NetStorage
• CIFS / SMB 1.0
Technologies enabling OES in a Windows World
12
• Recent (in addition to existing ones)
• Domain Services for Windows – AD Emulation for common authentication needs
• SMB 2.0
• Native NSS and AD Integration
• Getting nightmares about switching to NTFS ?
• You don’t need to any longer
• Salvage / Purge over CIFS for eDirectory and AD users
• Rights management over CIFS for AD users
Technologies enabling OES in a Windows World
13
• Coming Soon
• Client for OES (Novell Client) and AAF Integration (Multi-factor authentication)
• SMB 2.1 and 3.0
• Large packet transfers
• SMB Signing
• End to end encryption
• Domain Services for Windows – 2008 R2 and 2012 Schema Support
• Rights management over CIFS for eDirectory users
The TCO Angle
14
• Cost benefits of managing NSS filesystem vs NTFS are very well known
• Less administrators
• Efficient storage management
• Native storage tiering options
• Performance and Scalability
• More connections per server
• Better throughput on file access
• Better Security and Rights model
• Dynamic ACL’s
• Automatic SEV refresh – don’t ask users to logout and login for changed
permissions to take effect
An NSS AD Case Study
Disclaimer: This section provides an overview of future releases; due to market changes, customer enhancement requests, and other factors, product themes and timings are subject to change.
Real-world Case Study
16
• Customer is in the process of evaluation of IT Systems and consolidation
• Consolidate Identities on AD
• Previously this mean moving file services to NTFS as well
• Not anymore, with NSS AD Integration
• Wants to evaluate the cost of moving to NTFS vs adopting NSS AD
• Next few slides speak for themselves
• Summary : Don’t bring file service migration into a Identity consolidation
project (you don’t need to anymore). Keeps the costs low.
• Save on not just the one time migration cost, but the long term TCO as well
• Novell File and Print Estate
• 4 customer corporate sites connected via 100MB fibre:
• 1 x 6 Node Novell OES11 SP2 Cluster
• 24 Clustered Resources (Volumes) connected to the Clustered Nodes.
• 50TB of data help in clustered volumes (25 million files approx.).
• 12 other Novell Servers over the 4 customer sites fulfilling other requirements.
• 3000 Novell Workstations connected both to Novell and an existing AD Domain.
• IDM in place to sync users and groups between Novell and Active Directory.
17
Current IT Infrastructure
• Existing AD Domain is out of date (Windows 2008) and needs updating
• Need to simplify workstation build and to get rid of the Novell Client.
• “Does the company need two Directory’s” (AD and Novell).
• Application support for the Directory of choice.
18
The need for AD migration
• Traditional OES to AD Migration
• Based on the sample site at least 6 weeks work
• Risk to the line of business
• Requirement to move workstations as soon as volume is migrated
• OES2015
• Based on the sample site 1 weeks (worst case) for volume migration.
• Minimising risk to the line of business
• No immediate requirement to move workstations.
• Full access to AD Clients to files on the NSS Volume.
19
Summary of Approaches
• NSS is seen as native AD Storage conceptually the same as a NETAPP or
other device.
• Clustering, Storage Tiering and DFS (Novell) are fully supported.
• 4 additional cluster licences available at zero license cost (just pay
maintenance for these additional nodes)
20
Benefits of OES2015
Some large NSS-AD deployments
21
• Australian State Govt Health Agency - 400+ servers / 30,000+ users
• French Government Agency - 1000+ Servers / 50,000 users
• UK Media Company - 20,000+ users / spread across Europe
• It’s READY.
